We are one with the world and cosmos, with one another and all that is. We are interbeing. Karma refers to everything affecting everything. I choose my action and the outcome is beyond my control and is the result of the very complex interaction of all that is. My job is to act impeccably and not try to control outcome. Humility is understanding that, or at least appreciating that. Hum-ility and hum-ous have the same root, suggesting that humility is the state of being aware of being part of the complex interrelated world in which I don't control outcome. I'm humbled by that understanding right now as I am thinking and writing about it -- it is awesome to me. What has helped me develop this understanding is reflecting and meditation related to oneness and interrelatedness that we all are part of.
